The traffic through the city wasn’t too bad today so I pulled off a few miles after crossing the Golden Gate at the Mill Valley exit and did a few minutes of exploring. I found this view of Mt. Tamalpais looking north under the overpass on the Mill Valley-Sausalito Path. The cyclist probably sees it all the time in all different conditions, but this is what it looked like today.
Lens: Canon EF-S 15-85mm at 40mm. 1/200 second at f/9.0, ISO 200.

I’ve got two very busy weeks ahead of me–commute… work … commute…, plus several band gigs (like work, but more fun). Then I’m on vacation. Until then the blog posts will mostly be a grab bag of shots. This one is a grab from a recent bag.
Lens: Canon EF-S 15-85mm. (Have I insinuated enough that this is a GREAT walk-around lens for a Canon APS-C camera!!)

I love the California Live Oak. Each one is unique, adapting and shaping itself to its immediate environment over time. Kind of like people–though, in the modern world, I think this kind of “adapting” makes much more sense for a tree.
Lens: Canon EF-S 15-85mm.

I’m enjoying an increasingly rare weekend off, so I dipped back into the archive for today’s post. I took this shot back in early June during a commute stop.
Lens: Canon EF-S 15-85mm.
Black and white conversion: Nik Silver Efex Pro (version 1).
Note: I indicate the version of Nik SEP because version 2 does not run on my machine. Alas–though I’m still very happy with v1.
Canon T2i on par with the subject.
Everyday during the commute I pass through the Waldo Tunnel (aka the “Rainbow Tunnel” because of it’s south side paint job) before and after I cross the Golden Gate Bridge. Here’s a long shot of the tunnel from the turnout at the north end of the bridge. (I took a couple of experimental shots of the tunnel with my G11 about this time last year.)
Lens: Canon EF-S 15-85mm at 38mm. 1/200 second at f/11, ISO 200.
